Testwood Paddling Pool, a well-known public facility in Southampton, is overseen by Totton and Eling Town Council. While the pool typically offers a refreshing and enjoyable experience for all ages, it is currently closed. Totton and Eling Town Council apologises for any inconvenience and recommends contacting the council at 02380 863138 for the latest updates, whether closures are due to adverse weather, staff shortages, or other reasons.

When operational, the pool provides a supervised environment for children, though it is imperative that parents or guardians are present to oversee their young ones at all times. For the safety and welfare of all users, climbing fences, running around the pool area, and using barbecues or consuming alcohol within the facility are strictly prohibited. Appropriate swimwear and footwear are also required to maintain hygiene standards.

Abuse towards staff, be it verbal, physical, or otherwise, will be dealt with severely, and the use of photographic equipment is entirely forbidden around the pool to safeguard visitor privacy.

Beyond Testwood Paddling Pool, Totton and Eling Town Council manages extensive recreational facilities, including eight main recreation grounds and 24 children's play areas. These areas are designed with modern safety surfaces and engaging equipment suitable for various age groups. Additionally, amenities like basketball posts and free tennis courts at Eling and Testwood Recreation Grounds enhance the sports and recreational offerings of the community.

Totton and Eling, set in the scenic New Forest District of Hampshire, boasts a population of nearly 30,000 and combines natural beauty with convenient coastal and urban attractions due to its proximity to a large city.
